Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup honey (or to taste)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric (optional)
- 1–2 cups water (depending on desired consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the pineapple: In a blender, combine the chopped pineapple and water. Blend until smooth.
- Add the ingredients: Pour the pineapple mixture into a pot or saucepan. Add honey, grated ginger, lemon juice, and turmeric (if using).
- Simmer the syrup: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Bring it to a gentle simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the syrup to thicken.
- Strain (optional): For a smoother syrup, strain out the pulp using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
- Cool and store: Allow the syrup to cool before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Serve: Take a spoonful of the syrup as needed for soothing relief, or mix it into warm water or tea.
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter syrup, feel free to add more honey to taste.
- This syrup can be served straight, in hot tea, or added to warm water.
- For additional throat-soothing properties, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or cinnamon to the mix.
